Hello. Just looking to confirm an ID on this guy. Sorry about photo quality, I didn't want to get close to something venomous.
Assuming red belly black snake. I think it's made a den under the concrete. If it is what I suspect, I'll leave it be so it can keep the browns away.

Suburb??
Yes
It is, however, that the myth about red-bellies keeping Eastern Brown snakes away is a lie. I very much doubt that the snake will bother you, but it will annoy rats, mice, and frogs.
Green bellied green and red bellied black.
Edit: red belly blacks are not confrontational or aggressive like a brown can be, and will rarely bite unless cornered and agitated and there isn’t another option. The greens are the most sedate of all species.
Can you flip him over so I can confirm for you
DANGER!!!! No touchy! Run away!
